Vas and I escaped Brisbane on New Years eve by catching a plane to Sydney. I am using the word "escaped" because it was pouring down and quite windy in Brisbane. Some of the surrounding cities even had to cancel their fireworks because of the weather. Sydney on the other hand was sunny and warm.
We headed into the CBD to see the fireworks around 9pm. The city was packed and it was hard to get a spot where you could could actually get a glimpse of the Harbour bridge. People had been there since early morning, the most dedicated had even stayed the night, in order to secure a spot. But after a while we found a place where we could see the bridge in between to ferries. I was really jet-lagged and started to get tired around this time, especially when I realised we were going to have to stand up for two hours. After I while I abandoned my dignity and sat down, and soon other people around me followed.
The fireworks was good, but I think the atmosphere was even better. We stayed in the city till 2pm eating ice cream and looking at the life. The streets were packed.
The rest of the days in Sydney were spent going to the beach and on a day-trip to the Blue Mountains.
The best photo my camera could get of the bridge in the dark
